A Public Hearing was held by the Town Board of the Town of Cortlandville at the
Raymond G. Thorpe Municipal Building, 3577 Terrace Road, Cortland, New York, concerning
the Aquifer Protection Permit application submitted by Suit-Kote Corporation, permitting the
replacement of 5 tanks with a total capacity of 69,000 gallons with 5 larger tanks with a total
capacity of 160,000 gallons, the construction of a 1,440 sq. ft. addition to an existing
maintenance shop, and the installation of three 12,000 gallon fuel tanks. The property is located

Supervisor Tupper called the Public Hearing to order.
Town Clerk, Karen Q. Snyder, read aloud the published, posted and filed legal notice.
Supervisor Tupper offered privilege of the floor to those in attendance.
Richard Schutz, Operational Manager of Suit-Kote Corporation, gave the audience an
overview of the proposed project. The project would take place in three parts, and was a
continuation of the project Suit-Kote started six years ago.
The first part of the project would be to increase the capacity size of five raw material
storage tanks. Suit-Kote proposed to replace five storage tanks with a total capacity of 69,000
gallons with five larger tanks with a total capacity of 160,000 gallons. Mr. Schutz explained that
the product being stored would not change.
The second part of the project would be to construct a 1,440 sq. ft. addition to an existing
maintenance shop. The addition would be to the north side of the existing building, strictly for
part storage and a larger office area for the two employees who work in the building.
The final portion of the project would be the installation of three 12,000-gallon fuel
tanks. The tanks would meet all DEC and Cortland County Sanitary Code regulations regarding
bulk storage. The tanks would have 150% containment around each steel tank. The tanks would
also be in a containment area at the facility.
Councilman O'Donnell questioned what the emulsion tanks were made of.
Mr. Schutz explained that the tanks were not truly emulsion tanks, but were for chemical
additives used to make the emulsifying solution. The steel tanks were made to petroleum bulk
storage regulations so that if Suit-Kote needed to use the tanks for emulsion in the future they
would be able to.
Councilman Rocco questioned what Suit-Kote would do with the tanks that are being
replaced. He also questioned who would install the new tanks.
Mr. Schutz informed the Board that the tanks would be taken off site and scrapped. The
tanks are pre -manufactured by Highland, a well-known manufacturer of steel tanks. The tank
sits within a steel containment, and the entire facility sits within tertiary containment for any of
Suit-Kote's other products.

Councilman Rocco questioned what type of fuel would be contained in the fuel tanks.
Mr. Schutz explained there would be two grades of diesel and one grade of unleaded
gasoline, which are used for road construction.
Councilman O'Donnell questioned the height of the five storage tanks.
Mr. Schutz explained that the five tanks would be approximately 40 ft. high, which is no
bigger than the existing tanks.
Attorney Folmer questioned whether Mr. Schutz had a copy of the letter from the NYS
DEC dated January 23, 2007. The Town Planning Board recommended approval of the Aquifer
Permit subject to conditions from the County Planning Board and condition #1 from the NYS
DEC. Attorney Folmer questioned what the condition was from the DEC.
Mr. Schutz apprised the Board the condition from the DEC read as follows:
1. Replace five tanks — Increasing the capacity of the new tanks is a modification
pursuant to the air pollution control regulations. As such, Suit-Kote must apply
for a modification of the facility's Air State Facility Permit prior to construction.
No further comments or discussions were heard.
Councilman O'Donnell made a motion, seconded by Councilman Rocco, to close the
Public Hearing. All voting aye, the motion was carried.

Supervisor Tupper offered privilege of the floor to Chris Bushnell.
Chris Bushnell, 3655 Page Green Rd., questioned who was responsible for maintaining
the new sidewalks on Page Green Rd. with regard to snow removal. Residents of the City of
Cortland are responsible for maintaining the sidewalks in front of their own property, and are
ticketed if they fail to do so. Mr. Bushnell suggested the Town ask the County to maintain the
sidewalks on Page Green Rd., as it is a county road.
Supervisor Tupper stated it was brought to the Board's attention that the Town did not
have a sidewalk ordinance at the time they approved the construction of sidewalks in Blodgett
Mills. He agreed that a sidewalk ordinance would be necessary, especially with the future Route
281/Route 13 Corridor Project. Supervisor Tupper suggested the matter be turned over to the
Town Attorney. He would also inform Mr. Bushnell as to what action would be taken.
Supervisor Tupper offered privilege of the floor to Bill Breidenger.
Bill Breidenger, representing the Homer -Cortland Community Agency (Brockway
Museum) presented the Board with the second proposal for the Restore NY grant application.
The Town of Cortlandville would have to apply for the grant on behalf of the agency, which
would require a 10% match from the agency.

All voting aye, the motion was carried.
Councilman O'Donnell made a motion, seconded by Councilman Testa, to receive and
file correspondence from Anthony J. Dolan, CPA, NYS Office of the State Comptroller, dated
January 23, 2007, regarding the extension of time for filing the Town's Annual Financial Report.
All voting aye, the motion was carried.
There was a brief discussion regarding the "Review of Well Recharge Areas Relative to
the Proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter" submitted by Clough Harbour & Associates at the request
of Councilman Rocco. Clough Harbour reviewed existing reports and documents relating to
groundwater flow direction in the Otter Creek -Dry Creek aquifer that lies beneath the Town.
Specifically, Councilman Rocco raised the question of whether the groundwater beneath the
proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter site on NYS Route 13 flows toward any of the municipal water
supply production wells in the Town or in the City of Cortland. Clough Harbour submitted its
comments on the issue and stated that while it was "impossible to conclude that no water
occurring beneath the proposed Wal-Mart site will reach the municipal water supply, a number
of measures to reduce the potential threat posed by this development to the aquifer have been
proposed by Wal-Mart." The details of mitigation measures were included in the Final
Environmental Impact Statement.
Councilman O'Donnell made a motion, seconded by Councilman Testa, to receive and
file the "Review of Well Recharge Areas Relative to the Proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter" from
Clough Harbour & Associates LLP, dated February 20, 2007, and to attach the correspondence
to the Wal-Mart Supercenter PUD Application. All voting aye, the motion was carried.
